Kiboga District is bordered by Nakaseke District to the northeast and east, Mityana District to the south, Mubende District to the southeast and Kyankwanzi District to the northwest.

Overview [edit]
Kiboga district was formed in 1991. It is predominantly a rural district. The district is traversed by a major highway linking Kampala, Uganda's capital city with Hoima, the base of Uganda's petrochemical industry. The district is administered by the Kiboga District Administration, with headquarters at Kiboga. In 2010, the district was split into two, the western part being set up as a separate district, Kyankwanzi District. The district is sub-divided into the following administrative units:[3]
- Kiboga Town
- Kibiga
- Lwamata
- Bukomero
- Muwanga
- Kapeke
- Dwaniro

The 2002 national census estimated the population of the district at about 108,900, with an estimated annual population growth rate of 3.2%.[4] It is estimated that the population of the district in 2010 was about 140,100. See table below:
